Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LN
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LN is a genuine two-in-one filter & regulator — a diversion-type water/particulate filter and a balanced pressure regulator built into ONE body. It has 3/8" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LN
The GAFR400C10LN is a filter and pressure regulator combined into one body, eliminating the need for separate GAF filter and GAR regulator units. This 3/8in port model with a metal bowl weighs 880 g and uses a 40 um element, with a lower-pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi).
Its diversion structure spins incoming air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles, while the balanced regulator holds the outlet steady as supply pressure varies. The pressed-in self-locking knob resists set-pressure drift from vibration, and the 100 cc condensate bowl handles collected liquids.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFR catalogue (pages 235-236). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFR400 is 1/4" if you add one. This unit filters and regulates only; it does not add lubrication.

The filter and the regulator are ONE body here — there is no separate GAF filter or GAR regulator part to assemble. Need lubrication downstream too? Add a lubricator by ordering the matching GAFC400-10 F.R.L. combination instead.

Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue at 0.7 MPa inlet pressure — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. Outlet pressure falls as flow rises, so size a body with headroom above your peak demand.

Where the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LN Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a machining center where the lower 0.4 MPa ceiling prevents over-pressuring sensitive pilot stages.
Assembly station air
Supply filtered air to a semi-automated assembly station with multiple small actuators, using the 100 cc bowl to reduce drain frequency between shifts.
Test bench setup
Provide clean, regulated air to a laboratory test bench where the 40 um element and stable lower pressure protect delicate measurement instruments.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the body and port first: this GAFR400 with a 3/8in port sits between the GAFR300 (3500 L/min envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet) and the GAFR500 (8000 L/min envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet). The metal bowl suits demanding environments, while the semi-auto plus manual drain gives you both automatic purging and a manual backup. This L-type tops out at 0.4 MPa (58 psi), so confirm your system never needs more pressure. The mounting bracket is included, and no gauge is fitted - the 1/4in gauge connection allows adding one later. For lubrication downstream, order the GAFC400-10 combination instead. A 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/8" here)
- ✓ Standard 0.9 MPa or lower-pressure 0.4 MPa
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J); add a lubricator = GAFC
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, gauge/knob accessible.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Set pressure with the pressed-in self-locking knob; pull to adjust, press to lock.
- check Drain condensate before the 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 880 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a filter and regulator only — it delivers filtered, pressure-set air with no added oil. If a downstream tool needs lubrication, add a separate lubricator or order the GAFC400-10 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10LN FAQ
The GAFR400C10LN is a filter & regulator with a 3/8in port, 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) working range, 1.0 MPa (145 psi) max pressure, 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and -5 to 70 C temperature range. It has a 100 cc drain bowl, weighs 880 g, uses a 40 um element, and has a metal bowl with semi-auto plus manual drain.
The L code designates a lower-pressure regulator, capped at 0.4 MPa (58 psi) instead of the standard 0.9 MPa (130 psi). This suits applications needing gentle, stable pressure without risk of over-pressurization. If your system may require more than 0.4 MPa, choose the standard S type instead.
